HYMN  718,  S.  M. 

Salvation  in  Christ  alone. 

GOD'S  holy  law,  transgressed, 
Speaks  nothing  but  despair; 
Burdened  with  guilt,  with  grief  oppressed, 
We  find  no  comfort  there. 

Not  all  our  groans  and  tears, 
Nor  works  which  we  have  done, 

Nor  vows,  nor  promises,  nor  prayers, 
Can  e'er  for  sin  atone. 

Belief  alone  is  found 

In  Jesus'  precious  blood: 
'Tis  this  that  heals  the  mortal  wound, 

And  reconciles  to  God.

And  me  to  walk  doth  make 
Within  the  paths  of  righteousness, 
E'en  for  his  own  name's  sake.

Yet  will  I  fear  no  ill ; 
For  thou  art  with  me,  and  thy  rod 
And  staff  me  comfort  still. 

4  My  table  thou  hast  furnished 

In  presence  of  my  foes ; 
My  head  thou  dost  with  oil  anoint, 
And  my  cup  overflows.

Why  art  thou  then  cast  down,  my  soul? 

What  should  discourage  thee? 
And  why  with  vexing  thoughts  art  thou 

Disquieted  in  me? 
Still  trust  in  God  ;   for  him  to  praise 

Good  cause  I  yet  shall  have;
